Morumbi (CPTM)

Morumbi is a train station on ViaMobilidade Line 9-Emerald, located in the limits of district of Santo Amaro.

[1] Morumbi station was built and opened by Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana (along with Jurubatuba branch), on January 25, 1957, and demolished in the 1970s by FEPASA during the remodeling of commuter trains.

In 1992, CPTM launched the project South Dinamization, which wanted to conclude the construction of the remaining stations of the line.

The ethnologist Eduardo Navarro defends that "Morumbi" has other meanings, as from the tupi maromby, which meaning is "river of the big fishes" (maromba: "big fish"; y: "river"), or marumbi, term of Portuguese language that means "lagoon full of taboas".
